My fourth kids' book about a girl who is a healer has been accepted for publication. Twelve-year-old Lili has the power to heal. She doesn't understand her gift and it keeps getting her into trouble. Her classmates shun her and adults look on her with suspicion. She hates being different. A crisis comes when Lili’s father is lost in the Civil War Battle of the Wilderness. Lili’s mother can no longer support the family on her meager wages as a seamstress. She entrusts Lili and her brother to a Philadelphia orphanage. To find out what happens to Lili and how she deals with her gift, you'll have to wait until the book come out.
